577<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
578shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
579quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to

584</dd>
585<dd>
586<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
587descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
588can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
589terminal. This works regardless of wether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or
590not.</p>

1454<p>Extension names can be prefixed with a <code>-</code> sign to prohibit using

1461<p>Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1462(e.g. <code>searchable-scrollback&lt;M-s&gt;</code>, which binds the hotkey for
1463searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
